Translation notification: File metadata cleanup drive/How to fix metadata
[rediger kildetekst]Hello Palnatoke,
You are receiving this notification because you signed up as a translator to dansk on Meta. The page File metadata cleanup drive/How to fix metadata is available for translation. You can translate it here:
The priority of this page is medium.
There is a new initiative to clean up file information pages across Wikimedia wikis. In order to reach out to the communities in their native language, we would like to ask for your help to translate a few pages. In addition to the one linked above, there are two short pages:
- File metadata cleanup drive (direct translation link)
- Template:File metadata cleanup header (direct translation link)
Your help is greatly appreciated. Translators like you help Meta to function as a truly multilingual community.
Thank you!

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent software changes
- The "Special:Cite" page is now called "Special:CiteThisPage". That way, you know it's to cite the page, not to add a reference. [18]
- You can no longer use the
insource:keyword for text searches. It caused issues with the new search tool. It will come back later. [19] [20]
Problems
- There was a bug in VisualEditor with Internet Explorer. It hid tools like the link editor when you opened them. The bug was fixed on Monday. [21]
- Issues with the new search tool caused geo data code to show up on pages on Monday and Friday. The mobile "nearby" tool was also broken. The problem is now fixed. [22] [23] [24]
- HHVM caused server issues on Thursday. They are now fixed.
Software changes this week
- The new version of MediaWiki (1.25wmf5) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since October 29. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from November 4, and on all Wikipedias from November 5 (calendar).
- Some wikis have icons at the top of a page to show if it is protected or featured. Icons show up using CSS. You can now use the
<indicator>tag in these templates instead to add the icons. [25] [26] - VisualEditor now tells you if you're editing a re-used reference. This helps you avoid changing it if you just want to add a new one. [27]
- The icons in VisualEditor's template editor tool for adding more fields are back, along with other fixes. [28] [29] [30] [31] [32]
- After November 6, all wikis will have the tool to edit TemplateData. [33] [34] [35]
Future changes
- The new search tool will come to the last wikis in the coming weeks. This includes Wikipedia in French, Chinese, German and English. [36]
